As part of the "Future Engineers" international festival, the "Next-Generation Vehicle" competition — one of the most innovative contests in automotive engineering — has kicked off.

More than 20 teams from various regions of the republic, along with over 200 young engineers, are taking part with their exclusive, self-designed electric vehicles.

During the competition, participants test their prototypes on a closed 10-kilometer track. The main goal is to cover the maximum distance while consuming minimal energy.

The vehicles are judged on their energy efficiency, technical solutions, innovative approaches, ergonomics, and design.
